MPoD version 1.4 is available from the AppStore. New features and fixes in this release:

  • Directly browse the mpd structure. This was the most requested feature for MPoD. As result you now have to option to either use the local cache, or get data directly from the server.
  • Use local cover art that is shared through http. By sharing your music folder on the MPD server over http, MPoD can pick up cover art from the folder of the currently playing track. This is in addition to the Amazon based cover art;
  • Improved streaming (on-the-go mode) through the use of the RadioKit SDK from Stormy Productions. Stopping and pausing of a stream works better, plus there is visual feedback on when MPoD is connecting/buffering;
  • Simplified streaming settings;
  • Show information on current bitrate;
  • Fix cover art problems for timezones far away from GMT;
  • Some small bugfixes.

RitMeester v1.1.2 available for download

January 17, 2010, 9:31 pm

Today version 1.1.2 of RitMeester has been released. In the Netherlands, when you have a lease-car the tax authorities will add up to 25% of the car value to your gross salary. If you use your car for personal travel less than 500 kilometers per year, you can get a ‘Verklaring geen privé gebruik’ from the tax authorities. Condition is that you maintain detail records of all car travel. Ritmeester is the first Mac based program that helps you to keep a detailed and consistent administration, with minimum effort.

In dutch, deze versie bevat de volgende wijzigingen en probleem oplossingen:

  • Mogelijkheid om te filteren op rit type (Privé, Zakelijk, Beide).
  • Totalen van zakelijke en privé kilometers voor de gefilterde ritten.
  • Automatisch zoeken naar updates.
  • Initiële synchronisatie met iPhone werkte soms niet, dit probleem is opgelost.
  • Synchronisatie van speciale karakters zoals ë werkte niet goed, dit probleem is opgelost. Hiervoor verschijnt ook nog een update van de iPhone applicatie.
  • Kilometer totalen werden niet correct getoond na het toevoegen van een rit, dit probleem is opgelost.

MPoD v1.4 – unexpected problems

January 4, 2010, 9:39 pm

Functionality wise v1.4 of MPoD is ready. This version has 3 major improvements:

  • use local cover art that is shared through http;
  • directly browse the mpd structure;
  • improved streaming (on-the-go mode).

Unfortunately the move I made to SDK 3.0 has made the application unstable, and it crashes a lot all of sudden, looks like its due to memory shortage. I’m thinking about how to handle this, but it at least means that it will take more time before the 1.4 version can be released.
